The integration of tribals into the mainstream society created difficulties, One of the reasons being: |
They refused to move out and accept new areas of dwelling. They were gatherers who practiced shifting cultivation and did not have the necessary skills for other activities. They could not be educated. They continued to live the same way as before. |
They were gatherers who practiced shifting cultivation and did not have the necessary skills for other activities. |
The correct answer is option 2: They were gatherers who practiced shifting cultivation and did not have the necessary skills for other activities. Tribal communities traditionally relied on hunting, gathering, and shifting cultivation. When they were integrated into the mainstream economic and social systems, they often lacked the skills, education, and training needed for modern forms of employment or settled agriculture. This made their transition difficult. |
